Red, White, and Blue!

I was digging through an old storage container from when I first started scrapbooking almost 20 years ago, and found some 8 1/2" x 11" pieces of scrapbook paper including the background sheet I used for my card. It is called Blue Stars. This piece of paper was manufactured by Paper Pizazz (Hot Off the Press) back in 1997. When I saw it, I thought it is about time this gets used! LOL!

It makes a great background for this super sweet cut file called International Beauty America by Treasure Box Designs. I added a firework from the 4th of July Banners by Miss Kate Cuttables and topped with some Trendy Twine. Then I finished off with my sentiment from Craftin' Desert Divas. This is from the stamp set called Celebrate Freedom. Links are posted below.

If you are looking for a few more ideas for the 4th of July, this is a quick and easy project that would look cute on the front of a gift bag or even used on a banner as well!

And you found the perfect use for that 17 year old paper! LOL! Makes a great background for your design! Thank you so much for sharing your project & creativity at our house!Challenge #75 - ATG / No Twist~ginny, DT for 613 Ave CreateRubberMAD (GettyCollection.com)
